Everett B.

A first rate experience in Las Vegas, New Mexico. This historic hotel has been restored right. Love it's history and accessibility. The staff is top-notch as well.

Interior of the Wolf room...I would have called it the All Saints Room...but that's not an animal...

A fun stay to say you've been there, if you've arrived on the train, and/or to imagine how it might have been in its heyday. But...the Casteñeda seems like the less fortunate step-sibling of the Plaza Hotel. A few of the oddities that made it feel less classy: a big pile of towels were being folded on the table in the lobby; dishes were being scraped right at the end of the bar in the doorway to the patio; we had to ask for shampoo and soap; and the room themes didn't make sense to me - see photos. We didn't eat at the restaurant given the lukewarm reviews both online and by locals. I love that it's a historic building and applaud the efforts to restore the hotel - just wish I loved it more in person.

Castaneda Hotel - 2nd Floor

I love historic hotels - especially ones that have been touched by Restoration Angels. The Historic Fred Harvey Castaneda Hotel has definitely been touched by angels. As I stepped into the Lobby from the hustle and bustle of 2021, I felt like I had stepped back into the 1800's. In my mind a beautiful cowboy stepped out of the shadows and offered me a seat at the bar . . . . . . . Oh, wait . . . . . I'm promising too much. I wish that had happened . . . but every minute I spent in the Castaneda I kept looking over my shoulder for that cowboy. In reality - my room, the one on the 2nd floor corner, was a cross between modern elegance and historic splendor. Windows on two sides. Great view. Historic furnishings. Modern bedding. If you find yourself in Las Vegas, NM to visit friends, to crew for a film, or just as a tourist in a great western town . . . be sure you make reservations to step back in time . . . . And then we had dinner in their restaurant . . . . wonderful service, fantastic food. My only regret is that I was so full of great food & wine that I was forced to SHARE a dessert. Reminder . . . plan ahead. Don't just drop in . . . if you want to stay overnight, or relax in their restaurant. Just like every other business in the country, they are struggling to get and keep good staff. Check out their website, call their front desk. They are friendly and helpful . . . . true western staff. Fred Harvey Castaneda Hotel. On Railroad Avenue.

If you like history and a renovation well done, you will love the Castaneda. You can sit out on the porch, have a drink, watch the trains come in and out, and enjoy the New Mexico air. Our room overlooked the courtyard, yes. Comfortable and large, the only negative was the little refrigerator was on the floor. Large parking lot! Restaurant was open and food good. Art (avant garde) was contradiction to history but lots of photographs on wall informed us of where the old girl had.been. So glad we stayed here instead of the Plaza on the square. We visited the Plaza and it was busy right ion the street with little parking except valet.

Very nice hotel with loads of charm and character. We stayed here because it's the sister hotel of La Posada in Winslow Arizona. Both hotels are right on the train station that Amtrak services. Great on-site restaurant with delicious food and great wines.

Stair case at the Castaneda Hotel.  I like all the color schemes they use.

We took a day trip to Las Vegas NM. We stopped in to see the Castaneda Hotel. They have done a grand job remodeling it. The antiques are well preserved. We didn't eat there, wish we had, we saw the chefs preparing the food. They have a package liquor store that is magnificent. They carry many New Mexico wines, beer and liquor. They carry many products from different countries. We taste tested 3 different products, all were delicious. The man behind the counter was pleasant and very knowledgeable. All the staff was very kind, and helpful. I highly recommend the Castaneda Hotel!

Lobby

We have been following the progress of the resurrection of this historic property. Rooms opened in April, and as soon as we saw the bar was open, we booked a room. Lobby is gorgeous, room is large, beautifully decorated in antiques and SW furnishings, and bathroom has a huge tile shower. Bar has a pleasant open feel with lots of windows and a fun cocktail menu. Wonderful to experience this Harvey House back in business, since we LOVE what they did with La Posada in Winslow, AZ. Great job!

One piece of art in our room.

We stayed at the dog friendly Castaneda Hotel in Las Vegas, New Mexico recently. It was wonderful! Our room had 12 ft. ceilings, beautiful antique furniture and hand carved art that just made our experience so memorable. The staff was terrific and the restaurant was great. My only comment would be that the restaurant menu is a bit limited, but really that is nothing. The town itself has lots of really good restaurants in it for such a small place. If you are on a road trip I highly recommend staying at this place.

This is the room we stayed in!

PROS We came here by good ole' Amtrak from the Flagstaff, AZ station. We were able to walk straight up to the hotel from the depot which was very cool. The hotel is GORGEOUS! They did such an amazing job restoring it! Our room is really nice. I saw a previous review complaining that nothing is nearby to the hotel. That's not true. There's an AllSup's down the street and an Antique shop right across from the hotel; Dick's Pub and Charlie's Spic and Span Bakery are just a short walk away. There's also Bird scooters right outside the hotel. We rode the scooters to The Plaza Hotel for breakfast about a mile away. We had dinner at the restaurant inside Castenada and sat at the bar. The in house made ice cream was good. The bartender and everyone was very nice. The food was good! I had fish and chips and boyfriend had a burger with onion rings. The Bottle Room inside the hotel staffed by Francisco was cool. Francisco was very helpful and fun. The boyfriend bought several beers to go there. CONS The air conditioning worked but the thermostat was really difficult to figure out. Maren, the front desk receptionist, had to come up to our room to help us get the air to a good temp. So, a note to the hotel, consider getting user friendly thermostats; I saw another review complaining about the thermostats too. Also, there were sooo many mosquitos outside. My boyfriend loves being out doors and we were trying to eat and play games but we got several bites and eventually had to go inside. So, if you're coming by, definitely bring some Off. And a note to the hotel, please consider putting out citronella candles out, especially with the patio seating. Overall, it was a great stay at a wonderful historical place!

It is iconic and looks fantastic from the outside. So many film stars have stayed here while on…read morelocation. We recreated the staircase scene from No Country For Old Men. Pablo took the Woody Harrelson role and I took Javier Bardem. Sadly we had no hat or shotgun but we did a pretty good job. There are no lobby signs indicating that the next floors promise lots of fun information on filming in the area, local outlaws and which stars over the years have stayed in which rooms. I spent a good 30 minutes soaking it in. It is a musty maze across two floors, with books and trinkets. I loved it. The ground floor of the hotel is a charisma bypass. What a pity as the cafe and lobby could be so much more fun and informative (this is true of Las Vegas generally, so many wasted opportunities). There is a gift shop with the usual pottery etc. Staff were fairly oblivious to visitors. We opted not to stay overnight. I peeked in many of the rooms and they looked like they had retained their 19C furniture in keeping with the time period. Some were large some were not.

After being fans of historic hotels, especially the La Posada in Arizona, which is owned by the…read moresame folks - we were really disappointed by our stay. The restaurant and cafe had recently closed and that had probably changed the general feeling as you walk in. There is no longer a reading room, which is a lovely aspect of both the La Posada and the Castañeda. In terms of our room, do not get a "non-plaza view" room! Your view is literally a wall about 8-10' away and side views directly into other rooms. (I wasn't offered anything other than this type when I called, so you might have to ask). Only one window means the room is quite dark. One thin coverlet on the bed, no extra blankets and the bedside lamp was connected to the bright overhead room light. Our toilet ran continuously and the housekeeping wasn't very good at all. The staff at the front desk desk was very nice - actually we stopped at the Castañeda and their staff was nice as well. Parking was easy, right in front of the hotel. The architecture throughout the town is amazing and you can see why so many films/series have been shot here. My recommendation is the Castañeda - the rooms look on par with La Posada, they have a lovely lounge and there's a super cute place to eat across the street.

I have tried to call the resort directly, after speaking to one of their agents at the 877-218-8232…read morenumber, but after attempting to reach the front desk and being hung up on each time, I am now e-mailing you. I had to cancel my reservations due to a positive covid test. After cancelling with a booking agent. I was given the phone number to the resort itself. I wanted to be professional and courteous by informing the front desk, that due to a covid positive test, I have cancelled my reservation. If this is how The Alexis teats their potential clients, I will not be returning nor will I refer this to any of my associates. This is not going to look good on Yelp and other social media forums. In addition, now that I look back on everything, nowhere does it state "No Refunds". Yet, there are no refunds. Now I get a voice mail that if I do not show up for the orientation, I will be charged an additional $300. This is a SCAM. Beware....... Retraction....... I must apologize, I have discovered that it was the third party that I booked the reservation with, that is giving me the runaround and the "BS". The people at Alexis Park Resort have returned my call and have been very helpful and understanding. Special thanks to Ms. Rojas. She has been wonderful. I give the Resort, itself 5 Stars. just beware of the third party. This is the problem. Book directly!
